It's not Object Relational. It's a pure RDBMS. The author may have his terms confused sine postgresql has some object oriented features such as table inheritance.
You can still do all of the ORM stuff at the client with mappers such as Hibernate and SQLObject.
Goodbye Oracle, hello PostgreSQL. Now I can have a mostly SQL92 compliant database with ACID, transactions and now PITR and tablespaces that I can use on the server and on a win32 desktop.
For those of you wanting a great frontend, try PGAdmin3. It works on Win32 and Linux.
I got my Ipod and Flatscreen too. I used 2 disposable email addresses that I put into a special mailbox with procmail. To this day, I still haven't had a single piece of spam or any telemarketing calls. I don't get any more junk mail than usual either.
So what did I get? $800 worth of free electronics for about an hour of work and so did 3 of my friends.
The best enhancement by far is increasing the number of rows allowed from 32k to 64k. This will be a real lifesaver for me when importing/exporting XLS/CSV spreadsheets.
I had heard the phrase "send flames to/dev/null" and others in that vein. Plus I knew... er, "knew"... that/dev/null would always delete what you sent to it. Putting 1 and 1 together to make 3, I typed sudo mv undeletable_dir/dev/null.
What the mv command does is remove the old link from name and inode and creates a new one provided that the files are on the same physical disk. If not then the data has to be moved over too. Mv does not actually "send" data anywhere as I presume you now know:-).
I'm not quite sure where the term "send flames to/dev/null" originated, but I do exactly that with my procmail recipe::0: * ^From:.*insert jerk's address here*/dev/null
Postgres is much faster now than it was in the 6.x days. Back then it had a (deserved) reputation for being slow. There were many speed enhancements put into place before 7.x was released.
Postgresql is still not quite as fast (in my experience) as MySQL, but the comparison is not fair due to MySQL's lack of features.
I've read some benchmarks comparing oracle to postgresql and pgsql comes out close on most tests and beats oracle on a few. The benchmarks are gone, sadly, due to Oracle's "no benchmarking" clause in their EULA.
Wouldn't it be better to wait until X.org makes a press realease about this? That way, they can prepare for the onslaught of downloads. I seem to remember a version of FreeBSD being announced too early on/. that wasn't really a release.
How about waiting until X.org announces it? Until then, it's just a directory of files on an FTP server.
Thanks for the great gift idea, slashdot. With Christmas just around the corner I know that my PHB will just love a printer in his office that's his very own.
Many of todays manufacturing jobs are moving to China. Labor is cheaper and many of the raw materials are from China in the first place, so it only makes sense (at least from a financial point of view) to move some of the manufacturing over to China.
I used to work in the conveyor belting business and every belting company in town wanted to get into china to cut costs.
If China becomes a huge source for outsourcing manufacturing then of course the question is who will supply the technology to do it?
One thing that Abiword has that Open Office doesn't is a Word Perfect Filter.
Our organization *really* wants to kill WP, but can't replace it with open office because there is no WP filter. Does the WP filter that comes with ABIWord work well?
This doesn't have to be a bad thing. Imagine the positive applications of this knowledge in the area of web forms. Most membership/shopping cart sites have a link that you can click to retreive your password in the event that you forget it. Soon, shopping carts will have a link that you can click if you forget your card number and it'll look like this:
Yes, it works great on Linux (gentoo), but I can't vouch for the win32 version, as I've not used it. Another poster pointed out that you have to pay for win32 binaries. The Win32 version can be compiled from source but you neet QT to do it.
Rekall Revealed (GPL verson of thekompany's rekall product) can do all that, connect to PgSQL and MySQL, while using python as the language backend. Very nice, *and* Free Software.

I thought I was buying a Bagazine! WTF?
Scumbags are hijacking Linus' Linux announcement thread to advertise their streaming talk radio programs. Classy.
/. article.
There were no responses to the announcement until this

What do you mean "misclassifies"? ::Evil Grin::
I misread that one at first. The first thoughts that come running through me are that first /. puts the word scrotum on the front page and now this?
I never thought I'd see the day when the word scrotum appears in a slashdot article summary.
I'd better tell my boss and go smoke my medicine now.

Out of interest is there a single possible legitimate use for this?
Gettting back at Nigerian Scammers of course!
Why not go with an open source product that has already been audited for security holes by the general public.
Why waste goverment money when there are free alternatives?

It's the first thing I recommend to read after the official python tutorial to my co-workers who are just starting to learn python.
This book, Python in a nutshell, and the online python library reference are the 3 tools that I always recommend for python newbies

Wouldn't that be the release notes for the older 6.7.0 release and not the new 6.8 release?
